Method for moving from NGS to EPS in wireless communication system and apparatus therefor

Abstract

A method for moving user equipment (UE) from a next generation system (NGS) to an evolved packet system (EPS) in a wireless communication system comprises: by the UE, a step of determining to move to the EPS; and a step of transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) connection request and an attach request to the EPS. In the method for moving from the NGS to the EPS, if the UE has an ongoing voice call when determining to move to the EPS, the UE maintains the ongoing voice call by performing at least one of an access class barring (ACB) execution or a transmission of ongoing voice call related information by using “ongoing voice call” call type information.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of moving from a Next Generation System (NGS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS) by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 determining, by the UE, to move to the EPS based on the UE being out of coverage of the NGS or an instruction of the NGS; and 
 transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Request and an Attach Request to the EPS, 
 wherein, based on the UE determining to move to the EPS and the UE having an ongoing voice call, the UE maintains the ongoing voice call by executing Access Class Barring (ACB) using ‘ongoing voice call’ call type information, or transmitting information related to the ongoing voice call, 
 wherein, based on the UE executing ACB, executing ACB comprises: 
 obtaining a first barring factor for the ‘ongoing voice call’ call type information; 
 generating a random number and comparing the random number with the first barring factor; and 
 performing a random access, 
 wherein the random number is greater than the first barring factor, 
 wherein the first barring factor is configured to be smaller than a second barring factor for an ‘originating signaling’ call type, and 
 wherein based on transmitting information related to the ongoing voice call, the information is for informing that the ongoing voice call is present, the UE is excluded from application of congestion control performed by a network node receiving the information and the UE has higher priority for an acceptation of the RRC Connection Request than other UEs not transmitting the information. 
 
     
     
       2. A User Equipment (UE) for moving from a Next Generation System (NGS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
 a transceiver; and 
 a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: 
 determine movement of the UE to the EPS based on at least one of the UE being out of coverage of the NGS and an instruction of the NGS; and 
 transmit a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Request and an Attach Request to the EPS, and 
 wherein, based on the UE determining to move to the EPS and the UE having an ongoing voice call, the UE maintains the ongoing voice call by executing Access Class Barring (ACB) using ‘ongoing voice call’ call type information; or transmitting, via the transceiver, information related to the ongoing voice call, 
 wherein, based on the UE executing ACB, executing ACB comprises: 
 obtaining a first barring factor for the ‘ongoing voice call’ call type information; 
 generating a random number and comparing the random number with the first barring factor; and 
 performing a random access 
 wherein the random number is greater than the first barring factor, 
 wherein the first barring factor is configured to be smaller than a second barring factor for an ‘originating signaling’ call type, and 
 wherein based on transmitting information related to the ongoing voice call, the information is for informing that the ongoing voice call is present, the UE is excluded from application of congestion control performed by a network node receiving the information, and the UE has higher priority for an acceptation of the RRC Connection Request than other UEs not transmitting the information.
